Default MAS Control Arms

So i bought all four uppers from rockauto and finally put them in this week. Cost just $190.00 shipped. I did some research and felt they would be a good alternative.

All in all took me about 3 hours to replace them i might do the lowers sometime and they should cost around $300. The build quality is very close to OEM only exception is the ball joint pin is a bit longer than oem and the boot cover is different but it does not make a difference. The ride quality for me has been very good. I did notice a difference from what i had the bushings i had had some cracks and the ball joint had more play in them.

For the price you can't beat these as an option. One of the pictures i posted shows OEM and MAS side by side installed. I had to stop and come back to finish that side another day.

Nice! You have to take photos of the lowers when you install them.

Yes, even better because i was getting some small thumps. Drove over same roads and no nothing. I will have to recheck my lowers and see if i need to do those too.

I used a mixture of Mevotech and Beck Arnley...25,000 miles later and so far so good.

I was wondering where this product went and found out Doorman bought them out in 2017.
